Narrative

Feature n.81 in ACAN minutes of 19/06/2000. A distinctive toothlike peak 3159 m, which forms the highest point of Fang Ridge on Mount Erebus, Ross Island. Descriptively named by Frank Debenham of BrAE, 1910-13, .who made a plane table survey of the vicinity in 1912. Not: Upper Fang. (The feature has also been referred to as Upper Fang. Approval of The Fang is recommended because that name is applied to the peak on the inset map, Summit of Erebus, included in Map V of the BrAE (1910-13) "Report on Maps and Surveys," Debenham, 1923.)
